Key Features
- 14-position dual-row socket strip at 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch with Tiger Eye contact system providing superior contact retention force
- Beryllium copper contact material delivering excellent spring force, fatigue resistance, and consistent contact resistance below 10 milliohms across thousands of mating cycles
- Gold (30 micro-inch) over nickel (50 micro-inch) mating finish providing premium corrosion resistance for high-reliability applications in harsh environments
- E.L.P. (Extended Life Performance) contact design optimized for applications requiring over 500 mating cycles without contact performance degradation
Applications
The SFM-107-02-S-D is designed for high-reliability board-to-board mating in medical devices, defense electronics, and test and measurement equipment where Tiger Eye beryllium copper contacts ensure consistent performance across hundreds of mating cycles. Its 14-position dual-row 0.050-inch pitch layout makes it suitable for compact module interfaces, sensor head connectors, and removable instrument sub-assemblies requiring long-term contact reliability. The 30 micro-inch gold plating on the mating surfaces provides the corrosion and wear resistance needed for applications in humid, corrosive, or high-cycle-count deployment environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does SFM-107-02-S-D use beryllium copper contacts instead of phosphor bronze and how does it affect performance?
Beryllium copper in SFM-107-02-S-D provides approximately 30% higher yield strength and superior fatigue resistance compared to phosphor bronze, allowing the Tiger Eye contact geometry to maintain consistent spring force after 500 or more mating cycles. This translates to contact resistance remaining below 10 milliohms even after extended use, whereas phosphor bronze contacts can relax and increase contact resistance by 50% or more over equivalent cycling in high-temperature or high-humidity environments.
What does the 30 micro-inch gold plating on SFM-107-02-S-D contacts provide over standard 10 micro-inch gold alternatives?
The 30 micro-inch gold plating on SFM-107-02-S-D mating contacts is 3 times thicker than standard 10 micro-inch alternatives, providing proportionally greater wear resistance across repeated mating cycles. Standard 10 micro-inch gold is rated for approximately 100 to 200 mating cycles before the gold layer wears through to the nickel barrier, while 30 micro-inch gold extends reliable mating life to over 500 cycles, making SFM-107-02-S-D suitable for frequently field-replaced modules in medical and test equipment.
For a 14-channel removable sensor module requiring over 300 insertion cycles, why is SFM-107-02-S-D preferred over a general-purpose socket strip?
SFM-107-02-S-D is specifically engineered for high-cycle-count applications with its E.L.P. (Extended Life Performance) Tiger Eye beryllium copper contacts rated for 500 or more mating cycles, compared to 30 to 100 cycles typical for general-purpose SMD socket strips. For a 14-channel sensor module serviced daily, this extends connector service life from weeks to over 1.5 years before contact performance degrades below acceptable contact resistance thresholds of 20 milliohms per pin.
Which SAMTEC plug strip mates with SFM-107-02-S-D and what board stack heights are achievable?
SFM-107-02-S-D mates with SAMTEC's TSM and SSM series terminal strips at 0.050-inch pitch with 14 positions across dual rows. Depending on the selected TSM plug variant, mating stack heights from 5 mm to over 20 mm board-to-board are achievable, allowing SFM-107-02-S-D to serve both thin-profile embedded system mezzanine stacks and taller module configurations in instrumentation enclosures requiring component clearance between boards.
